Large transporter into Belfast.

I seen a large transport going into Belfast (BFS) today just before lunchtime 12:30. Anyone know what type it was ? I assum it's G8 related.

Cheers

Given that Obama is reportedly attending, expect at least one C-5 and a C-17 or so.

GibbyNI, if you can't tell the difference between any sort of large cargo aircraft then what are you doing here ?

Four C17s arrived into BFS today alone...and I think there has been at least that number in the last week.
We've also had an IL96 last Sunday, an IL76 since, and the Japanese 'Air Force One' the previous week. The RAF A330s have also made appearances.
We've had a flight of up to 7 Blackhawks from Mildenhall, and 2 more from the Presidential Flight. 3 Merlins also turned up today.
I'm sure there has been more, but these are probably the most notable...it's certainly been an interesting week in NI airspace.

Oh, and the big shiny blue one is due in early Monday morning.
